As may be seen, for applications where the number of algorithms and logical data files are the same, Function Points and Feature Points will of course generate the same numeric totals. 可以看出，对应用中的算法和逻辑数据文件的数量是相同的，功能点和特征点当然会产生相同的数字总和。

When Feature Points and Function Points are used on classical MIS projects, the results are often almost identical. 应用于MIS项目时，结果几乎完全相同；

when applied to the more complex forms of system software, Feature Point counts are significantly higher.

当应用于更复杂的系统软件形态时，特征点的计数要高的显著的多.

Object Point

Object Point: in 1994, Kauffman, et. al. predict the functionality of a software product earlier in the life cycle than function points. 1994, Kauffman提出滴，预测软件产品在功能性在生命周期中比FP早。

Object points are used as an initial metric for size early in the development cycle. 对象点是在开发周期对尺寸的早期度量。

An initial size metric is determined by counting the number of screens, reports, and components that will be used. 度量由使用的窗口(screen)、报告(reports)、组件(components)的计数来决定

Each object is classified as simple, medium, or difficult. 每个对象都被归类为简单，中等或困难

Use-case Point

Use Case Point: in 1993, Gustav Karner，Use-Case is a method to develop requirements in object-oriented analysis and design. 93年，GK这家伙提出滴，用面向对象分析和设计思想来提高需求的一种方法。
